It always surprises me that you rarely see news on just how many mistakes there are in a-level papers... It's like they're barely checked! @ofqual @BBCNews @BBCDerby Happens every year.... Imagine opening your paper and being greeted by an impossible question.....

@HEontap "anticipated drop in top A-level grades...." This is pretty much guaranteed due to how the grade boundaries are decided after the exam's been taken. It's designed in......

@DVSAgovuk We're not seeing ANY effects of your half-hearted measures:

We know many learner drivers aren’t seeing the immediate effects of our measures. Today’s announcement from the Transport Secretary could see thousands of extra tests potentially made available every month. 🤝 We committed to reducing waiting times. 📉

“They didn’t trust you and so they voted for us… people are furious about the fact you haven’t delivered” Reform UK’s Richard Tice says Labour are “not listening” and his party will “open the books” of local councils to deliver better value for money #bbcqt

@chug3345 @JolyonMaugham How many surgeries has he held in Clacton? What contribution is he making to the local area? His job as an MP seems to be just a title for him to earn off. However, it's what Clacton wanted, so here we are.....

@JolyonMaugham I love watching the left struggle with the fact that 1. A man has several jobs. 1. That man is worth substantially less than their current Prime Minister.

@iD_Mobile_UK yet again, I'm in a town with almost full 4g signal, but absolutely no connectivity. Is your network just broken? This is by far the worst network I've ever been with!

@TeamYouTube Also, as reported by others (over the last year!!!!!), it DOES still work if you embed the video. So, click SHARE on the video, then 'embed'. You can now use the preview of the embedded video to experience the spatial audio correctly! e.g. youtube.com/watch?v=cCEK6X…

@TeamYouTube Spatial Audio on YouTube (desktop Chrome) has been broken for what must be getting close to a year now. Will it ever be fixed, or has Ambisonic audio for 360 videos been abandoned?

Two surprising entrants on HMRC's list of "deliberate tax defaulters" - people who deliberately didn't pay tax they knew was due (not because they couldn't afford it; because they just didn't want to pay it).

So just to be clear, and as I just said on ITV News at Ten, this Tweet by Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a summary of the formal ceasefire proposal drafted by him in partnership with Starmer and Macron and Rutte. It has been submitted to President Trump. The question on which so much hangs is whether Trump sees it as a basis of peace negotiations with Putin and for rebuilding relations with Zelenskyy and Ukraine. In relation to placating Trump, Zelenskyy said three relevant things 1) sorry, President Trump 2) you are the boss, President Trump 3) I’ll sign the transfer of precious mineral rights to you, without a prior commitment from you to guarantee our security (though I’d still like to have that guarantee, if peace is to be sustainable). That is a colossal quantity of humble pie for a war-time leader to eat. Will it persuade Trump that - in his terms - Zelenskyy can be trusted? Will it persuade Trump to reverse his ban on military aid to Ukraine? I’ve asked those who might know or even have a hunch. They don’t know, on the basis that forecasting Trump is a fools errand.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa

I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace. None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts. We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal. We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this. Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.
